Tomatoes (cordon varieties) are a vine fruit. In the UK gardener tend to pick the tops out the 6th set of fruit.
In commercial green houses, the tomatoes are grown up strings. Intermediate stringer greenhouse tomatoes get to about 10 feet.
There are also dwarf and bush varieties.Determinate (Bush) varieties only grow to an fixed height. Indeterminate (Cordon/Vine) tomatoes can reach heights of nearly 60 feet with support. The world record is for the tallest tomato plant is 19.8 meters — that's 65 feet — grown hydroponically by a company in the United Kingdom. With Big Boy and Early Girl being some of the tallest tomatoes varieties grown.

17 foot outdoor in soil Tomato @ around 17 feet.
Maybe next year as this year we have had frequent rain and intermittent sun.
To be honest I am surprised there are no signs of Blight!
It's no surprise that our septered Isle is often called "Blighty" with its often wet and humid summers.
Who know's maybe you'll be up a ladder next year!
This guy pulled nearly a 100 pounds of tomatoes of this on plant!

you know so much but as you have said you are research mad :smoking: also bro i had a bit of a nightmare with mould with this 1 dutch passion mokums tulip in coco i found some iffy twisted leaves the other day and low and behold it was mould so i chopped one of the tops the other day with nothing else visible but i rechecked today it was on nearly every top so i saved some tiny small bits but nearly the whole plant went in the bin but the funny thing is i have an organic soil sister whos been fed nothing but water and she doesn't even really look like a sister of my girl but they both are tulips and shes got no issues like this girl also the funny thing is even in summer ive never lost a plant to mould indoors outdoors yes but does this make any sense to you @arty zan

 

[EP3]

Oh no. Just aswell you have a few on the go. That would be a total wipe out for me.
Hopefully everything else good.
Cheers,

1. Bud density.. possibly pheno related. one pheno denser bud, which makes it hard for the transpired water to escape!
2. One pheno naturally more resistant to mold. However both parent strains have high mold resistance (Gelato x Sherbet).
3. Insect damage allowing mold to easily take hold non the damaged area.
4. A dead leaf. I've seen a dead leaf, which has died and dried out and then which has be rehydrated via high humidity/dew condensation/water spillage/rain. Which is then a favorable place for mold to start growing and then spreading.
5. Soil plant may have had more available silica which toughed its cell walls on the stems and leaves, which then made it more resistant to mold.
6. Plain bad luck
7. Touching your plant after touching another plant or touching/using contaminated equipment.
8. Once a plant becomes contaminated, it then just becomes a hot bed of spores, contaminating the rest of the plant.
9. Water such as rain or dew. setting in to the calyxes of the bud. Where there is less oxygen and there is plenty of moisture, which in daylight hours will warm up and in the evening cool of. Ideal breeding ground for mold.
10. Once mold is seen, it will run riot very quickly, it doesn't take long for buds to become mush.
11. Cutting moldy buds and it's neighboring buds may do the job but it is likely, some spores will have fallen on to the plant. Causing more mold mold sites. Treat with a proprietary Bud Rot Treatment, made from natural ingredients.
12. If it close to harvest better to chop straight away than risk losing the whole plant and give it a hydrogen peroxide bath and fan dry the moisture off and then dry. Checking regularly that everything is mold free.
13. Air is important LST or HST the branches so they are spread out more.
14. Defoliate bushy plants, lets more air in and also light, UV can be good at helping control molds and it will also help bud sites develop.
15. Bacterial micro herd has colonized the soil plant and thus leaving less room for molds to take hold.

Just some possibilities. off the top of my head.

I've had little spiders weave a little home and pull leaves together. That definitely can't be good. I just clip them.
